Better is halfe a lofe than no bread.

1781. Half a Loaf is better than no Bread.

Better a dry morsel and quietness therewith than a house full of sacrifice and strife.

Far better was our homely diet, eaten in peace and liberty, than the luxurious dainties, the love of which hath delivered us as bondsmen to the foreign conqueror!

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

Bread is the staff of life.

When the people choose bread between bread and freedom, they eventually lose everything, including bread. If the people choose freedom, they will have bread grown by themselves and not taken away by anyone.

On a day when you can dine on dry bread in your own house, do not seek to eat tender peacocks in the house of another.

الخبز في الوطن خير من بسكويت الأجانب.

I like the heat the tenderness the edible the lusciousness the song of a single person the bathtub full of water to bathe myself beneath the water.. ..I like the wheat-fields the plough the apricots those flirts of the sun. But bread above all. (1942)

2916. It is better to have a Hen to Morrow, than an Egg to Day.

All sorrows are less with bread.

Hungry, not one word here/is as good as bread.

There is a basket of fresh bread on your head, yet you go door to door asking for crusts.
